"Syria condemns in the strongest terms the cowardly US attack on areas in Deir ez-Zor near the Syrian-Iraqi border," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"It [the Biden administration] is supposed to stick to international legitimacy, not to the law of the jungle as [did] the previous administration."
Iran also condemned the strike, with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif calling it "illegal and a violation of Syria's sovereignty."
